Caravan Satellite Dish Systems (9)

Its a great thing to have an automatic caravan satellite system on your caravan but (always a but)the problem with a caravan is that most of the manufacturers don't make the roof strong enough to support the weight of a big dish.

Caravan satelite systems come in two types, the dish and the dome.

The dish satellite system is what most people think of when they think about a satellite system. The dish systems start at around 50cm in size and go upto 100cm in size.

The general rule of thumb is that the further from the UK you go the bigger the dish you will need to receive English television channels like BBC and ITV. This is because the Astra Satellite (the one for SKY and FREESAT), has the best coverage in the UK. The problem with this is that if you intend to use your caravan outside of the UK, you will need a medium to large size dish. You may say "Well!".

You must remember that the bigger the dish the more weight you are putting on your roof and not to forget the stress caused by the dish being blown about in the wind.

With the above information taken into account we will have a look at the systems that should be ok. This is by no means a guarentee.

Ok we took a look around and this is when we found. We have rated the best 3.
